Antonello Cuomo

He has worked in the film industry, producing over 140 documentaries and as an internationally renowned tattoo artist. Drawing on the experiences both these professions provide has shaped Antonello’s life goal – to make a difference to the underprivileged and oppressed – offering them the means to live respectful, healthy lives. Over the years, Antonello has developed close working relationships with charities throughout the world, organising fundraising or contributing directly to causes close to his heart. He believes education is the best route out of poverty for the world’s most underprivileged children and a source of inspiration to help eradicate environmental vandalism.
